Abstract

Das Kapital is a sign of the maturity of Marx's view of science and technology. In Das Kapital, Marx elaborated his view of science and technology from multiple dimensions. Based on the text interpretation of Das Kapital, this paper uses the method of literature research, the combination of theory and practice, and the unification of history and logic to investigate the scientific and technological view of Das Kapital. From the perspective of social production, science and technology are productive forces. From the perspective of human development, the innovation and development of science and technology and "real man" constitute an organic whole. From the perspective of natural ecology, the innovation and development of science and technology form a two-way interaction with natural ecology. Marx’s view of science and technology in Das Kapital provides practical enlightenment for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation: focusing on the main economic battlefield, enhancing the international competitiveness; Putting the people at the center to improve their well-being; Based on natural endowments to achieve sustainable development.
